Commercial/Residential electrical inspection
Electrical Safety Inspection — Commercial and Residential
A comprehensive electrical safety inspection evaluates the condition, performance, and code compliance of electrical systems to identify hazards, reduce risk of fire or shock, and ensure reliable operation. Our inspections cover both commercial and residential properties and are tailored to the size, age, and use of the building.
What the inspection includes
Visual assessment of accessible electrical equipment and wiring.
Service equipment: main service entrance, meter, main breaker, grounding and bonding.
Distribution panels and breakers: condition, labeling, loose connections, overloaded circuits, correct breaker type.
Branch circuits: wiring condition, proper cable type, conduit integrity, junction boxes.
Receptacles and switches: functionality, grounding, GFCI/AFCI protection where required, tamper-resistant devices in dwellings.
Ground-fault and arc-fault protection: testing of GFCIs in kitchens, bathrooms, exterior, garages; verification of AFCI protection in required living areas.
Lighting systems: fixtures, ballasts, lamps, emergency and exit lighting (commercial), exterior and landscape lighting.
Electrical loads and capacity: service capacity vs. estimated demand, recommendations for upgrades or load redistribution.
Safety devices: smoke detector and carbon monoxide power sources, interconnection and battery backups where applicable.
Emergency systems (commercial): emergency power, transfer switches, exit illumination, fire/suppression system power supplies.
Equipment and appliances: hot water heaters, HVAC, electric vehicle chargers, range/oven circuits, and other high-demand loads.
Thermal concerns: signs of overheating, scorch marks, or hot connections (visual and infrared checks where requested).
Code and compliance: review against current National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements and local amendments, with emphasis on life-safety items.
Documentation and labeling: verification of circuit labeling, identification of unsafe or noncompliant installations.
Deliverables
Detailed inspection report listing observed deficiencies, immediate hazards, and recommended corrective actions prioritized by severity.
Photographs of key findings and problem areas.
Estimated cost ranges for recommended repairs or upgrades (upon request).
Clear explanation of required code corrections versus recommended improvements.
Follow-up options: repair services, staged remediation plans, or re-inspection scheduling.
When to schedule an inspection
New property purchase or lease.
After renovations, remodeling, or installation of major equipment (EV chargers, new HVAC, added circuits).
Prior to insurance renewal or to support an insurance claim.
Older buildings, frequent breaker trips, flickering lights, burning odors, or exposed wiring.
Routine preventative maintenance for businesses and multi-family dwellings.
Why it matters Regular electrical inspections detect hidden hazards before they cause damage or endanger occupants, ensure systems operate efficiently, and help avoid costly emergency repairs. For commercial properties, inspections also support compliance, reduce liability, and protect critical business operations.
Service options
Standard inspection: full visual and functional checks with written report.
Enhanced inspection: includes infrared scanning and load analysis.
Commercial package: tailored to code-required elements, emergency systems, and tenant spaces.
Residential package: focus on life-safety devices, kitchen/bath GFCIs, and living-area AFCIs.
